Huawei's Noah Ark Lab refutes claims that its Pangu Pro AI model copied elements from Alibaba's Qwen model. A technical analysis suggested significant correlation through 'upcycling,' marking a turning point in China's collaborative AI efforts. Analysts warn that these disputes could hinder China's capability to unify against Western AI firms. HonestAGI pointed to a high correlation coefficient while Huawei claimed its model has unique innovations and was built on its own Ascend chips. This situation highlights the pressure for innovation in the evolving Chinese AI landscape.
HonestAGI published a technical analysis claiming Huawei's Pangu Pro Mixture of Experts (MoE) model showed extraordinary correlation with Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 14B model, with a correlation coefficient of 0.927.
Noah Ark Lab responded that its model was 'not based on incremental training of other manufacturers' models' and featured 'key innovations in architecture design and technical features.'
The public confrontation represents a dramatic shift from China's previous unity in challenging Western AI dominance, potentially undermining its ability to present a consolidated front.
This dispute actually points to changing dynamics of the Chinese AI ecosystem's speed of maturity and pressure to remain relevant and compete to foster innovation faster than the traditional collaborative approach.
